Last-Minute Questions

"I've taken great notes, I think I’m ready," says Ty.

Recruits at Work

Anne stresses the importance of mise en place: all ingredients prepped and organized. "This whole mise en place thing and multitasking in the kitchen, I'm not really comfortable with it yet," says Anthony.

Egg Novice

"When I used to live at home, my mom wouldn't let me cook anything. The only time I touched an egg was to paint it during Easter," confesses Carlos.

Robert gives a few pointers: "Taste everything before you serve anybody. You've got to understand what it tastes like; if you don’t, you’ll never be able to cook successfully."

Pork Problems

For the Main Dish Challenge, the recruits must replicate Chef Anne and Chef Robert's pork dishes. "I don't eat animals," says Kelly. "But if that's what it takes to win the whole thing, I'm going to do it."

Each recruit on Robert's team helps with a step of the demo for his Pork Paillard with Asparagus and Compound Butter. They must pay close attention: There will be no recipe on the board this week.
